Meryll

Meryll is a feminine name that serves as a variant spelling of Meryl or Merrill. It has multiple possible origins, including being derived from the Celtic elements 'mer' (sea) and 'muriel' (bright sea), or from the French name 'Muriel.' Alternatively, it may have evolved from Merrill, originally an English surname meaning 'famous sea' or 'bright sea.' The distinctive double 'l' spelling gives this version a unique touch while maintaining the soft, flowing sound of the original. Meryll has never been extremely common but gained some recognition through association with acclaimed actress Meryl Streep. The name carries a gentle, refined quality with literary and natural associations.

Pronounced MER-ul.
